The Nike Auto Trainer Green/Purple Punch debuted back in June but because they so perfectly match our Grand Ma Ma edition snapback hat, they deserve another look. As green suede and leather tango on the upper, the quarter panel and toe box feature perforated leather with purple punch popping up on various hot spots on the shoe. They retail for only $85, and perhaps if because of both that and the fact that these sneakers scream old school freshness that they are currently so hard to find. Everyone was reporting them to be available at Wish but they are apparently sold out as I checked it out before posting this and all they had was the black/red colorways in stock. Here's to hoping that more turn up soon, we'll keep you posted.
For those that don't remember, Larry Johnson was selected first overall in the 1991 NBA Draft by the Hornets, and would win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award the following year. He also competed in the 1992 Slam-Dunk Championship at the NBA All-Star Weekend in Orlando, finishing second to Phoenix's Cedric Ceballos. Along with Alonzo Mourning, Muggsy Bogues and Rex Chapman, Johnson played with the Hornets at the height of their popularity in the early and mid-1990s. During this time, Johnson, who went by his initialism "LJ" and the nickname "Grandmama" (because of a popular Converse commercial), was featured on the cover of the premiere issue of SLAM Magazine. Pick up the hat at Fresh Fiending's Snapback Shop.
